Alex Jones hires controversial lawyer

BRIDGEPORT — Infowars host Alex Jones, who is being sued for calling the Sandy Hook shooting a hoax, has hired a controversial Connecticut lawyer to defend him.

“I was aware he wanted to hire another lawyer and now I’m in the case,” confirmed New Haven lawyer Norman Pattis. “I’m looking forward to the fight, there is a lot to talk about in the case.”

Pattis replaces Jones’ original lawyer, Jay Wolman.

Jones is being sued in Superior Court in Bridgeport by the parents and family of some of the 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School killed in a mass shooting in 2012 by Adam Lanza. In his former television, show Jones claimed the shooting was staged by paid actors who faked the children’s deaths.

A well-known figure in the state’s legal community, Pattis is no stranger to controversy. He represented Anna Gristina, called the “Manhattan madam,” known for running a high-profile prostitution ring that allegedly attracted clients such as actor Charlie Sheen, among others.

I heard from Juanita Jean that they are not impressed with either of Jones’ different Texas lawyers.

since I recalled the connection that you mentioned. Needless to say, Alex has found another attorney of dubious nature.

Mark was supposed to depose Jones today. http://juanitajean.com/keeping-upwith-alex-jones/

Back to the Huffington Post.

“It remains to be seen whether this sudden change in counsel is a desperate gambit or whether it’s a sign that Mr. Jones is ready to take this lawsuit seriously,” Bankston told HuffPost in a statement. “But regardless of who ultimately represents InfoWars, my clients remain focused on holding Mr. Jones accountable for his reckless and disgusting conduct.”

So the bottom line is that I dunno if Mark is taking a deposition of Jones this morning or packing up his Jeep and heading back to Houston. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.

He’s also scheduled to take a deposition of one of Jones’ business partners tomorrow.

UPDATE- deposition is next week. Today was a hearing and Mark won.
